Welcome...
To Hope-Inspired Stories, for anyone who'd like to discover more about books and stories that uplift and encourage.
Several years ago, while teaching high school art, I discovered I was as thrilled as my students when they won awards or were acknowledged for their accomplishments, and that promoting other people's good works was very gratifying.
So it is my hope you are blessed with a message of grace as I was, through the words of authors featured here. Please join me in welcoming writers of fiction, nonfiction, and devotionals; of romance, mystery, historical and contemporary stories as they share their work.
It is my pleasure to present "Forever, Lately," by Linore Rose Burkard. This is such a fun story of Time Travel Romance set in contemporary and Regency periods. I've been a follower of Linore's books for years and have thoroughly enjoyed her Regency novels. This is a delightful read; the characters are well-written with a hint of Jane Austen's deceptively light-hearted style and sharp wit. Ms. Burkard seamlessly weaves two time periods together through the discovery of an old shawl, two engaging characters, and strong conflict!
Publisher: Lilliput Press (September 8, 2019)
1816, England
Julian St. John needs a wife. An oath to a deceased guardian must be kept. Miss Clarissa Andrews, a vexatious beauty, has dangled after him all season but he has no intention of choosing such a she-devil.
Maine, Present Day
Author Claire Channing is desperate to write a bestseller to save her failing career. She moves into her grandmotherʼs abandoned cottage to write the book, but a local resort baron wants to raze the place. Without the deed, the clock is ticking on how long she can stay. She thinks she’s writing St. Johnʼs story. But when she discovers an old prayer shawl and finds herself in his Regency world, she falls in love with him, a man she thought she invented! Miss Andrews, however, is also real—and she’d rather see Julian dead than in another womanʼs arms!
Claire must beat the clock to prevent a deadly tragedy, but can love beat the limits of time itself?

I have read four of Linore's books and loved them all. She is such a talented author and always responsive to my emails and gives me encouragement in my own writing. This recent book is one I really need to pick up. Writing a time travel story requires keeping things straight and I'm certain Linore can do that.
